DUPLEX : Première Mondiale à au Centre Culturel de Dinant le 25 septembre 2021 à 20h00
DUPLEX est la rencontre de 2 musiciens renommés de la scène belge, Didier Laloy (accordéon diatonique) et Damien Chierici (violon).
C’est aussi la rencontre de 2 générations et de 2 univers musicaux différents qui au départ n’étaient pas forcément appelés à se croiser un jour.
Didier a un background des musiques traditionnelles/world et est reconnu pour avoir apporté un renouveau à l’accordéon diatonique au niveau international.
Damien, lui, est issu de la foisonnante et créatrice mouvance de la scène «pop/rock» liégeoise.
En mars 2020, le temps du COVID-19 est arrivé et a poussé les artistes à se réinventer et explorer de nouveaux horizons.
L’occasion était belle pour eux deux de se lancer dans une nouvelle aventure musicale et de créer DUPLEX où ils fusionnent leurs influences saupoudrées de world, d’electro-pop et d'ambiances cinématographiques.
Un carnet de voyages rêvés, surréalistes et fantasmés à la sauce belge fait de rencontres multicolores et de saveurs épicées.
Afin de compléter le casting du groupe, ils emmènent dans leurs bagages les supers musiciens que sont Olivier Cox (batterie) et Quentin Nguyen (claviers).

Covid-19 crisis: Zig Zag World joins FBMU
May 26, 2020
After various discussions and exchanges between bookers and managers of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, we are proud to announce the birth of the FBMU, the Federation of United Bookers and Managers.
The FBMU studies the problems linked to the professions it represents and its sector. It brings new expertise and new insights thanks to the shared experiences and solidarity of its members.
It was set up in April 2020, in the spirit of consultation triggered by the COVID-19 crisis. Its aim is to represent its members and their professions before political bodies and the cultural sector, notably via its seat on the CCMA (Comité de Concertation des métiers des Musiques Actuelles).
New collaboration! Now booking: Pierre Vervloesem Band
PIERRE VERVLOESEM is one of the most prolific musicians/producers on the Belgian scene. He has played the guitar on over 300 albums and produced 33 CDs under his own name. He collaborated with Bill Laswell, Spencer Chrislu (Frank Zappa), Charles Hayward (This Heat), Wim Vandekeybus, Jan Fabre, Marc Ribot, David Byrne, Josse de Pauw, Jimi Tenor, Morgan Agren, among others. For 29 years he was Peter Vermeersch’s travelling companion in the bands X-Legged Sally and Flat Earth Society with whom he toured the world.
VERVLOESEM is a talented and atypical guitarist, nicknamed the Belgian Frank Zappa by the press. For the first time in his career, he decided to go on stage with his band and play a selection of his best compositions.
VERVLOESEM gets the best out of the Belgian-style compromise: the mastery of the jazzistic field, the use of the crazy and energetic rhythmics of classic rock, combined with the lively and limitless sides of the electronic universe. He offers a maverick work sprinkled with a touch of madness.
